Chapter 362 Online Office 2.0 Distributed Collaboration

Not only can remote workers be more closely involved in work, but it can also significantly reduce the workload of on-site employees.

In this way, strong connections can be built between team members.

People who work through distributed collaboration have much less difficulty communicating with their peers than when working remotely in the traditional sense.

Objectively speaking, distributed collaboration is a passive working mode compared to remote working.

Distributed collaboration, on the other hand, is much more proactive.

Although distributed collaboration has many advantages, it is really expensive to set up.

And this thing requires certain training for employees.

The most important thing is that after this thing is built, it can certainly solve many pain points of traditional remote working.

But in reality, it is still difficult to achieve the same level of convenience as working in the field.

Despite all the difficulties.

In the future, when Lin Huixing has enough energy, he will definitely come up with this thing or something more advanced than distributed collaboration.

Maybe others don't understand Lin Hui.

But think about what Confucius once said: "A gentleman has nothing to do with the world. There is nothing wrong with it. It is the comparison of righteousness."

When it comes to matters in the world, a gentleman does not stipulate what must be done or what must not be done, but only considers how to do it appropriately.

But many times, as long as you feel it is appropriate to do things, it seems to be a luxury to expect that everything can be understood by others.

After all, people now have no idea what might happen in a few years.

It is also impossible to understand the necessity of remote working or further distributed working.

As for Lin Hui, why doesn't he just try to avoid what will happen in a few years?

Is there really a way to avoid it?

Unless there is a way to eliminate it from the source.

Otherwise, it is impossible to say that it is impossible to avoid it in a real sense, but I am afraid it will be very difficult.

No matter how good you are at it, there is nothing you can do if you encounter someone who likes to raise voodoo.

Society is an increasingly open society and cannot be completely closed off.

And to say the least, a completely closed society may not be able to enjoy its achievements forever.

Even if it is done at a higher level, I am afraid it can only be based on prevention.

And even if the original situation could be avoided.

When there is malicious manipulation by someone with evil intentions behind the scenes.

Who can guarantee that there will not be other situations?

After all, there seems to be more than one kind in some laboratories. . .

…

…

Lin Hui said: "Thank you for your advice. In fact, I think it may not be used for six months. It is very likely that we will not need to continue to use this software in two or three months."

Huang Jing: "By the way, do you have any customization requirements for the software?"

Lin Hui remembered that Huang Jing had just said that when renting, the software could also be customized to certain requirements and adapted.

Like the current online office system, when you rent it, you can choose a cloud deployment plan according to your needs.

Even if it is in-depth customization, even the UI style can be requested individually.

In addition, certain requirements can even be imposed on individual subsystems.

Having said that, Lin Hui couldn't think of too specific customization requirements at the moment.

Customize a UI? It seems unnecessary.

Lin Hui said: "I don't have any requirements for the application at the moment. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Huang Jing nodded. She also knew that in many cases, the construction of online offices must be based on the company's own business model and actual needs to formulate corresponding planning and implementation strategies.

These things can only be determined through consultation and detailed plans.

It is impossible to come up with any good ideas by relying on quick wits.

Huang Jing then asked: "What about other than applications? What else can you add?"

Lin Hui thought for a while and said: "By the way, let them change the name of their product. The previous name was too hard to pronounce. At least the Chinese name needs to be changed."

Huang Jing:? ? ?

Is it okay to change the name?

But it doesn't seem impossible.

So Huang Jing asked: "What name should I change?"

Although Lin Hui has many good naming schemes for online office software in his heart.

But the online remote office software F.FSG currently being rented is destined to be only a temporary emergency use.

Such a makeshift thing is still relatively high in the echelon even if compared with its contemporaries.

But looking at it from the perspective of the next few years, let alone 80 points, this thing is worrying even if it scores 60 points. In short, it is a substandard product.

Not to mention how well deep collaboration can be done, even the most basic information noise reduction and the like have yet to be perfected.

Under such circumstances, Lin Hui actually didn't attach too much importance to this thing.

There seems to be no need for a too formal naming.

The reason why I mentioned the naming issue is because the software currently named "F.FSG" does seem a bit nondescript in Lin Hui's opinion.

Maybe the initials of the people working on the project?

It is possible, but the translation into Chinese is completely unclear.

Anyway, Lin Hui didn't understand what better meaning the current name could have.

In this case, it is better to change the name, but the specific name change will be left to Huang Jing.

Lin Hui said to Huang Jing: "Let their development team decide this matter, or you can just make the arrangements."

Huang Jing nodded, and would definitely convey Lin Hui's thoughts fully according to Lin Hui's instructions.

As for what Lin Hui thinks?

Although Lin Hui didn't seem to say anything, this did not prevent Huang Jing from making speculations.

Generally speaking, when adapting applications to customers, it is often necessary to substitute the customer's real usage scenarios to further analyze customer needs.

Although the specific customers are ever-changing, they are simply divided into expert customers, mainstream customers and casual customers.

Expert customers often refer to those who are willing to explore your products and services and are willing to spend time researching new products.

Such customers usually have strong software development capabilities.

Many times these users do not need the original team of the software to adapt them individually.

Even the omissions and shortcomings of the original software may lead to bugs, which will stimulate the DIY fun of such customers. .

Casual customers refer to those who like to use some novel functions, and simple adaptation is often enough for such customers.

Mainstream customers in key industries will not be attracted by the technology of your product. The purpose of using the product is to complete a certain task.

For such customers, in-depth adaptation is often required.

Generally speaking, customers will not jump repeatedly between these tags.

Lin Hui's current situation is obviously a backbone customer, and it is impossible not to carry out in-depth adaptation for such customers.

Anyway, Huang Jing felt that the reason why Lin Hui mentioned the Chinese naming was not just about thinking about a name.

After all, there seems to be no need to waste energy on a name for a makeshift application.
